Is there possible open helm selected file in a new window horizontally?

[zw963]

Current solution, e.g. see following screenshot.

When i pressing C-c o, it open the new buffer window vertically, like this.

is there possible always open new file buffer window right?

Thanks you.

See `helm-window-prefer-horizontal-split` And then prefix arg behavior will be inversed.

Cool, i know this option, but i thought it will make helm window open right too, that not good.

But, when i try it, helm still bottom, but open file buffer right, work like a charm!

i guess this probably relative to following config:

;; 让 helm 的弹出窗口有类似于 popwin 的效果。
(setq helm-display-function 'pop-to-buffer) ; make helm play nice
(add-to-list 'shackle-rules '("\\`\\*helm.*?\\*\\'" :regexp t :align t :size 0.618))

Helm assume you are using either `helm-default-display-buffer` or `helm-display-buffer-in-own-frame`, if you use `pop-to-buffer`, you will have to implement all yourself with display-buffer-alist, good luck ;-). See `helm-default-display-buffer-alist`. Also using pop-to-buffer will prevent many cool helm stuff from working properly e.g. C-t, `helm-commands-using-frame` etc...

(add-to-list 'shackle-rules '("\\`\\*helm.*?\\*\\'" :regexp t :align t :size 0.618))

I don't know this so I can't tell.
